Apart from the fairytale architecture and the exotic landscapes, the other big plus to being back in Rajasthan is that the Sun is shining. It's still bloody cold in the night but that's not problem when I'm tucked up in bed with big thick blankets.
The tourist trap areas are a little less pushy than I expected, which is no bad thing but the traffic scuttling down the narrow lanes is horrible. There a few too many cafe latte places for my liking but I have found where to get the best chai in the area.
Views from the hotel roof are nothing short of spectacular, especially at sunset. A scene I enjoy along with a special tea as it's called on the bill. basically a beer served up in a tea pot and drunk from a tea cup. An elaborate way to get around the fact that they are not licenced to sell booze. And coffee served in a beer glass.
The hotel is a lovely old Havelock and my room, although simple, is comfortable and beautifully decorated.
